The game of the knockouts
Last Man Standing was made for sudden death.
Every knockout game is win-or-go-home — and so is Last Man Standing. Each round you back one team to go through. Get it right and you survive to pick again. Get it wrong and you’re out. It’s the most natural way to make every knockout match matter to your whole group.
Never the same team twice
Use a team once and it's gone. Spend your favourites early, or save them for the final? That's the game.
Last one standing wins
Survive each round and you live to pick again. The final survivor takes the whole pool.
Simple to play, hard to master
Easy enough for everyone. Strategic enough to obsess over.
Anyone can play
If you can tap one team, you’re in. No football expertise, no spreadsheet, no age limit — kids, parents and grandparents can all be in the same pool. That’s what makes it the family game of the tournament.
Strategy that builds every round
You can never pick the same team twice. So do you cash in your favourites now, or save them for the semis and final? One slip and your tournament is over. Simple rules, real decisions, proper bragging rights.
Two ways to play
Both games are ready for the World Cup.
Last Man Standing is our pick for the knockouts. If your group would rather call every scoreline, Score Predictor runs the same way — set up once, then it’s automatic.
